HRC’s ‘End the Lies’ Spotlights Ken Starr
If you have yet to hear about the Human Rights Campaign's End the Lies web project, I recommend exploring this worthy resource. With the purpose to "expose the lies and fear-tactics of anti-LGBT voices and counteract them with respectful dialogue and grassroots action," HRC spotlights radical ideologies and counters their hateful messages.
The project has previously focused its message on individuals like Sally Kern and Maggie Gallagher, both infamous voices in the anti-gay movement. Kern became notorious last March when she said, "I honestly think [homosexuality] is the biggest threat, even more so than terrorism," while Gallagher received attention when she claimed same-sex marriage inclusion was a form of "repression".
HRC is currently asking for signatures on a petition to be sent to Ken Starr (pictured), lead council in the recent Proposition 8 oral arguments heard by the California Supreme Court. The petition reads as follows:
Your attempt to nullify the marriages of 18,000 loving couples in California is misguided and malicious. The rights of a minority should never be stripped by a simple majority vote, and the idea that divorcing parents could help the welfare of children is disgusting. History will condemn your actions.
The petition currently has over 46,000 signatures. To add your name, visit HRC's End the Lies campaign.
